different models in egovernance, all of which have advantages and
disadvantages, the differences in models can be overcome through
the adoption of whole of government approach.

contribution of all society, therefore means of cooperation should be
explored with all groups, including business sector, academia, civil

with technological innovation require increased institutional
responsiveness and flexibility.

egovernance, therefore is a need to provide a cause result
